Buy a SAD lamp! 20 minutes sitting in front of it in the morning whilst reading a book, or watching You Tube. Or better still listening to an audio podcast whereby your eyes are not preoccupied. Plus eat a couple of ripe mangoes during the winter season. You may be amazed how it can shift you out of seasonal affective disorder. Plus 10,000 iu of Vitamin D. These help me. 🌞✨
Love the Hallmark Channel, my favorite series is the Wedding vail all my favorite actresses are in it. I also saw the movies you showed during your video, don’t forget they have a new movie every Thursday. Our house is very dark too, it’s nice in the summer the trees help keep the house cooler. I ended up painting the walls white which helped. In the winter I like to go outside a lot, I find so much beauty in the color of the day from dawn to dusk sunny or cloudy snowy or rainy I always see that beauty.
December has been hard for me, since my mother passed in this month 15th. Even though it’s been 14 years. This year has been really rough. Thinking of her and my older brother whom passed a year ago. But I’ll had my sister-in-laws, my daughters and bff to get me through it.
Great Advice…..Yes Yes Yes to Tatertot Casserole…..Auntie Great Peg loves her Hallmark movies…….You are pretty practical ……the HAM DInner was Fabulous ……
You know what christmas movie was actually kind of good/funny? Hot Frosty...surprising. Lacey Chabert is in it, she is in ALL of those cheesy holiday movies :) have a good dinner with the in laws!
Great movies. I love the hallmark movies. But as a couple we watch die hard 1 and 2, a Christmas story, leathal weapon, and national lampoon christmas vacation.
Tater tots are basically seasoned hashbrowns. That’s what I have to tell myself. The builtmore Christmas was good. Probably because I like the actress from one tree hill. Yeah, I’m old. Thanks for addressing how holidays can be lonely. Some years are really hard.
I love how fancy Cale is with the thermometer 🌡for food testing the meat 😄 I just know how to cut poultry to see if the meat is cooked good where the meat juices run taught by my late elderly mum when she was alive as I had no clue before hand starting out. I have some pretty impressive people who really should have been gracing the TV screens with their ability to cook. I have a good balance of Italian and carribean members. I still don't think I'm as good but recently my kids have been raving about my cooking so I think I nearly have it down to a tea as its very hard to copy their signature dishes 😄
Hello Jerika and Happy Holidays! I'm having a hard time with the darker days! My mind and body want and need the sunshine!
Try vitamin D gelcaps
Me too! It’s tough, but brighter days are ahead! I’m right there with you ❤
@@sl4983great suggestion!

@Soul.7 are mangoes seasonal?

I love that you find beauty even in the dark days! It's a great outlook. Aren't these movies fun? I need to check out the Wedding Vail!
That’s hysterical! Hallmark movies! I thought I was the only one who got into those. Yes, they’re cheesy but pretty good especially the mysteries.
I am officially obsessed!
Haha, Paul and I watch the cheesy hallmark movies too. And you're right, they definitely are feel good movies.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them! 😊

I’m glad you have a support system during rough times . Thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
I love watching you guys make meals i wanted to see the full meal at the end 😂
Aw sorry about that! I’ll be sure to include it next time!😊
December 21st the days start getting longer! 😊
Thank you for the reminder! Looking forward to it!
Santa Claus Indiana is an actual town:) They even have a theme park named Holiday World🎄
Oh wow! Good to know! ❤
I saw the first Hallmark movie you mentioned about Santa Claus IN.... It was cute!
It was so fun to watch! 😊

Oh I like Lacey! I’ll have to check that one out!!❤

Those are all amazing Christmas movies too! A Christmas Story is such a good one - my husband hasn't seen that one yet.
Wondered why you didn't post yesterday
Ahh, was just way too busy! I'm back on track :)
Cale-I see you are wearing a S sweatshirt. The color is kinda nice, but we here “Love” a Green G. Game is starting in 3 hours!
😅❤
Can you possibly thin out or fell some of the trees on your property? Should make a huge difference 😊
That's a good option!

Oh, I have to check out that movie! I was young when one tree hill came out, but didnt watch it. I think I was watching Gilmore Girls instead 😅
Tatortot hotdish!!
Yes! 😊

Cooking is an art!! Cale bakes a mean ham - he’s very strict about serving it moist and not a degree overcooked 😅!
